Dear Strongbad,
I want to have the bestest halloween
costume ever this year. How can I make
a strongbad costume?
With crap,
Ben from Ohio University

STRONG BAD:{typing} Well Ben, I couldn't agree with you more. You dress up like me this year and the ladies will flock to you like the Poopsmith to an overflowing toilet. {stops typing} But I digress. Onto the costume... {gets up}

This is another of the very few emails that had the "Old Emails" button on the monitor. It has since been removed by The Brothers Chaps to fit with the rest of the Strong Bad Emails.

This is the last email where Strong Bad's head is at the right side of the screen and a bit higher, making his mouth visible. This is also the last email where his head doesn't move while talking, and the last email to use Strong Bad's old head style.

This is the first email in which Homestar makes a personal appearance.

This is the first email to be over one minute long.

This is the first email where the intro is not a song.

When Strong Bad says "you freakin' weirdo" at the end of the email, he uses his current voice, without the Hispanic accent, which he uses in full for the first time in the next email, brianrietta.

The YouTube description for this email is "Strong Bad demonstrates the best way to make a Strong Bad Halloween costume on Stupid Over Here, I mean Homestar."

MIKE: This is the last one we did before we started doing them weekly.

MATT: Yep.

MIKE: ...or relatively weekly.

MATT: And then we were still doing them... I was still in New York, livin' in New York... I was in New York and living in New York.

{pause}

MIKE: Um...

MATT: Yeah, these ones, I think I just recorded them. They were so, like, simple for—this was one of the more complicated ones for early on, but I would just send you audio and you'd do the entire thing.

MIKE: Yeah. It didn't take very long back then.

MATT: There's our... there's our Homestar Runner.

MIKE: The hills slash bushes in the background are a little different than usual.

MATT: Yeah, they are.

MIKE: Oooh, the pixellated, naked Homestar.

MATT: That was a big achievement. I think you—but that had already been done for the main page.
